| Subject: | Matco brakes question |
I had a couple of the bolts that hold the disk on the wheel break recently. I
had the old style safety-wired bolts.
I ordered and received the upgraded wheels from Matco along with the new button
head screws and washers. Nick had told me to have a good quality hex driver
and torque wrench, which I thought I had. On the third bolt, the head easily
stripped before 80 inch-lbs. :(
Well, I have some of the previous cap head screws, and I'm curious if anyone sees
a reason not to use one. In fact, I'd rather have cap head screws all the
way around. These 1/8" drive button head screws are just too small in my opinion.
I don't want to be jacking with or worrying about this every time the wheels
come off.
So, question 1: Does anyone know why the switch to button head?
Question 2: Any reason not to stick with the cap head?
Question 3: If I use the cap head will that work with the new Nord Lock washers,
or just keep safety wiring? (I'm somewhat partial to the safety wire, as it
seems pretty fool proof.)
It's a gorgeous day in Dallas, and I want to go flying. I must have done something
wrong to someone to have a problem with the last bolt before putting wheel
pants on and going.

Anyone else noticed the flap motor getting slower/weaker with time? It's the opposite
of what I do as I get older, so I'm baffled.
I noticed just a week ago that it almost came to a stop if I was close to max extension
speed. I've been slowing about 10 below that before extension, but wondering
if its something that will continue to get worse.
